Leonard Rollins-
Well the reason for seeing it in the cinema was that it was a sneak preview, else I would never have seen this terrible teenage slasher movie.
I mean haven't we had enough of this yet?
Scream and Scary Movie at least did not take them self serious!
The plot sucks, and the acting is the worst I've seen.
(Only Godzilla can compare, which is also the only movie that competes in being the worst I've seen in the cinema with this one.) There is so many plot holes in the story, and the girls are so alike, that you don't even now who has been killed, and who has not.
(and you don't care.) The only of them I knew in advance was Denise, and she was the most talent less actress I have ever seen in this bad excuse for a movie.
Stay as far away from this movie as possible.
(2/10)
"In 1955, Tobias Schneerbaum disappeared in the Peruvian Amazon.
One year later he walked out of the jungle...
naked.
It took him 45 years to go back."
Supposedly, "Keep the River On your Right" is "a modern cannibal tale."
In reality, anyone looking for some insight into cannibalism will be sadly disappointed.
The first half of the movie is more like a travel log of New Ginuea, mostly touting the native art.
The second half relies on still photos of a Peruvian cannibal tribe, but really that's about it.
Unless of course, you are interested in home movies of a Jewish wedding, or Schneerbaum introducing his former male lovers.
I give up.
Big disappointment and not really "a modern cannibal tale."
- MERK
So, where are the cannibals?
Those intrigued by the title and the 'real cannibal' appeal of this film will be let down.
Instead, we are shown a strange man and his re-visiting of a Papua New Guinea village full of natives, one of whom was his lover several decades prior.
The man, Tobias Schneebaum is New York Jewish as they come and somehow, this is intertwined with the documentary as he appears in his yamika in several scenes.
There are no real cannibals here: only stories relayed by some of the natives and by Tobias himself.
Not all together a bad film.
Very interesting and great cinematography.
Schneebaum remains highly likable throughout and provides us with a fascinating glimpse into a life that is about as far removed from Western Civilization as one can get.
It's just not what it claims to be on the cover and in the plot summary.
4 out of 10, kids.
Well, where to begin?
I guess I can start with the general complaint regarding the way in which this film is marketed.
Call me ignorant for not knowing of Schneebaum's book before viewing the documentary that has been based off of it and decide that I have been living under some kind of a rock, but don't blame me for picking this movie up since the title and the description on the box makes no note of the fact that this "documentary" is actually a companion to said book.
Yeah, I felt quite stupid after viewing this little flick seeing as how the reason as to why I sat down to watch it in the first place was to get a good serving of a "Modern Cannibal Tale."
I mean, am I a fool for expecting this film to actually cover most of its story on the behavior of cannibalism in jungle tribes?
I certainly didn't expect an hour and forty-five minutes of one old geezer kissing his own ass by whining about every little detail of his dull and worn out life.
I certainly didn't expect the insipid directing and I most notably did not foresee myself laughing so hard at Tobias Schneebaum and all of his off-putting glory.
Schneebaum is indeed unlikable.
The old man just rambles and bitches the entire film making the whole picture a personal tale of his even though he isn't even that interesting a character to fill a story.
Oh really?
He was a cannibal?
Ninety percent of the movie is focused on next to nothing regarding Schneebaum's dirty past.
The only time that we really get to see some cannibal action is when Tobias finally breaks his little silent treatment about what happened to him in Peru and say that he had "a small piece."
That's it, folks.
Ninety minutes of bull later and Tobias Schneebaum is a cannibal by three inches.
It's like calling a movie "The Life Of A True Don Juan" only to see that the only the time the protagonist of said film did something sexual happened during college when he once played "just the tip."
Unbelievable.
The directing is, indeed, superbly ghastly as there is no flow or rhythm to the story that is being told.
Alright, I understand that I didn't read Schneebaum's volume before watching his celluloid tale of it, but I can still recognize some bad pacing and even worse editing.
One minute Schneebaum is talking about cruise ships and tourism and the next he's going on and on about how he can't drive and then jumps to talking about some dead relative or some failed and miserable saga in his life.
I mean, Jesus, can you at least slam his back story to the first part;
follow up with some stuff covering his homosexuality and then end it off with a hearty look into his visit to Peru?
Also: I don't particularly care much for Schneebaum's insipid little quips on life and living, but I at least implore the old man to keep consistent with his ramblings.
If I hear a guy talking about how he prefers life in the jungle I don't expect him to suddenly bitch and moan about wanting to go back home twenty minutes later.
Absurd.
Another note on the directing is the random clips from the story at hand to the small little television appearances in which our hero has appeared.
While some might find the clips to be fancy little breaks from the story, the director has overused the gimmick and broken his entire film into pieces by seemingly attempting to place most of the efforts of telling the story on the old reels.
The bottom line, here, is that Tobias Schneebaum is a fraud.
Pure and simple.
I know that I haven't read the book, but I'm still holding on to the argument that this film is totally useless by noting that a good film must stand on its own.
This documentary relies way too much on the assumption that the viewer is already an avid fan of Schneebaum's work and instead goes on from that assumption like a supplemental disk found on a DVD.
Schneebaum is both arrogant and bitchy, striking a sour combination when mixed with the fact that his story is remarkably un-riveting.
If you're looking for a solid piece on the nature of humans and cannibalism, turn away because "Keep The River To Your Right" is an embarrassingly hilarious self-serving rant over a man who is long overdue for a straight-jacket and a gag.
I Am Curious is really two films in one - half of it is the sexual experimental side of Lena and the other half is her curiosity with political/socialism.
Whatever the director's intention, the two don't really mesh together.
The director should have just stuck with the romantic side of Lena and made a separate movie for the politics.
There is a bizarre mixture of political/war rallies, Dr. King, serious political interviews, flopping breasts, and pubic hair.
The film feels more like a fictional documentary than a movie.
Other than the interesting sex scenes, you'll be bored dry watching this film.
Unlike many other reviewers, I think the nude/sexual scenes are overdone for what it is.
If you want to see real porn, I'm sure there are better choices.
The pervasive nudity is a major distraction from whatever plot there is.
I think the cast did a fine job however.
They played their parts believably.
There is little of the over-the-topness I'm so used to seeing in the American films during this time.
This film, once sensational for its forward-thinking politics and depictions of free love and sexual liberation, has been reduced by time to a mere curiosity.
It seems absurd now that this mostly boring little film had been banned and seized by governments in many countries.
Given how socialistic Sweden eventually became, the 'radicalism' of its politics, once controversial, appear naive and almost mainstream four decades later.
And its sex scenes, at one time the subject of sensational obscenity trials, look pretty tame in a modern context.
Nevertheless, the film and accompanying documentaries detailing its many controversies and influences remains marginally watchable as an early reliquary of 60's youth rebellion.
One part of the film that still holds up: its self-consciousness with respect to the 'fourth wall.'
Every once in a while, the filmmakers film themselves making the film.
The satiric playfulness of this still elicits a chuckle.
The plot line of No One Sleeps is not a bad idea, and the subject matter is of quite a bit of interest.
But, throughout watching this film, we were saying aloud, "These filmmakers go to the trouble of finding good locations, the lighting is good, makeup and hair are good...
why is the sound so bad?"
Throughout the film the sound was echoy, garbled and much of the dialog was unintelligible.
There is some good acting in this film, and I think Jim Thalman is really a good actor.
This story, with some of the same actors, would have been worth doing as a high-budget film.
I just can't reiterate enough - if you have a limited budget, dedicate more to good sound.
Sound is as much a part of a film as the image, and it's worth doing right.
Could've earned a 6.
Hail Bollywood and men Directors !
Really this is the ultimate limit in utter sacrifice made by Indian Woman !!
Viewing the current state of affairs in India where The wives are becoming more vicious day by day and are very possessive about their husbands - the Directors ..
also can be called Uncle Scars (refer movie The Lion King) came up with a very new concept on how both the kept and the wife can live together happily ever after sharing everything between themselves ...
including the spermikins !!
Story line : Married couple - very happy - but accidentally a mishap happens and wife has a miscarriage - lost the foetus along with the capacity of ever becoming a mother !

Hail Bollywood and men Directors !

Really this is the ultimate limit in utter sacrifice made by Indian Woman !!

Viewing the current state of affairs in India where The wives are becoming more vicious day by day and are very possessive about their husbands - the Directors ..

also can be called Uncle Scars (refer movie The Lion King) came up with a very new concept on how both the kept and the wife can live together happily ever after sharing everything between themselves ...

including the spermikins !!

Story line : Married couple - very happy - but accidentally a mishap happens and wife has a miscarriage - lost the foetus along with the capacity of ever becoming a mother !
